Disney has bought out yet another company - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

But why did they want the Fox Family channel anyway? I hate that channel and Disney is just going to make it worse IMO! Why is Disney buying everything? Does it want to rule the world? I think so!

Sorry... That wasn't nice at all...but it's how I feel. Why can't Disney be good again???

Viacom should have bought it! Maybe more sitcoms would have been put there!

Can't blame everything on Disney...aside from them Viacom and Time Warner/AOL own just about everything too. Between the three of them they have a nice little 3 company monopoly of just about the whole entertainment industry going on there.

Maybe now that disney owns it, they won't have split credits on the endings of Growing Pains, Who's the Boss, The Wonder Years, etc--Hopefully!

Can't get any worse! They are adding The Wonder Years and Growing Pains this year. I've also heard Bosom Buddies, too.

All I can say is I hope ABC puts their foot down and decides against making any more Olsen twin movies and shows! Then and only when that happens, it will be safe to turn on the TV again!

It's been the Family Channel, The Fox Family, and now the Disney Family Channel. At least now they own "Growing Pains" AGAIN!

If they take off my Who's the Boss, I'm gonna be seriously po'ed.

I don't know if AOL/TimeWarner/Everyotherboughtupcompany Inc. should buy GSN or not....

Anyway, like I said, they better not take off WTB!!!

You said it! That would reek of stupidness!

If you think you have problems with the change in ownership of the channel, then just think about poor Pat Robertson. Here he had a oontract to broadcast his "700 Club" on the Fox Family Channel with Fox and Rupert Murdoch, who he was more politically compatible with. Now he has a contract to broadcast it on the ABC Family Channel with Disney and Michael Eisner, who he is less politically compatible with. I am sorry, but . . . ROTFL. And despite appearances, Disney, Paramount, and Warner, do not own everything on television. Fox may not have the Fox Family Channel to kick around anymore, but, they are still well represented by the Fox Channel, Fox News, and Fox Sports. Enjoy
